Buddy's Positions: Closing BTC and HYPE trades, but latent risks in ETH
According to blockchain tracking data monitored by BlockBeats on December 18, the operator known as Buddy (Huang Licheng) has closed additional long positions in BTC and HYPE that he opened the day before. This liquidation resulted in accumulated losses exceeding $70,000. However, the most delicate situation remains with another of his active positions.
Closing Loss-Making Positions on Two Fronts
Buddy’s associated address completed the liquidation of his BTC and HYPE positions, realizing significant losses. This decision reflects the risk exposure the operator faced after opening these leveraged positions. The partial closure suggests a risk management strategy in response to the volatility of the cryptocurrency market.
The Persistent Dilemma: Extreme Exposure in ETH
The most concerning issue is the position Buddy still has open in Ethereum. It is a long position of 5,000 ETH with 25x leverage, with an unrealized potential loss of approximately $510,000. Data shows the entry price was $2,933.47, while the liquidation price is set at $2,734.46. The relatively narrow gap between the current price and the liquidation level indicates a high-risk scenario for this position.
With current crypto market volatility and considering the present prices of BTC, ETH, and HYPE, leveraged positions with these margins remain particularly vulnerable to sharp market movements.
